A good attorney might even consider a class action lawsuit on this one and make lots of money. The manufacturers knew the risk and gambled. Their customers lost. But who are you going to sue? This has gone around-and-around before and the "consumer" always comes up on the short end of the stick simply because the manufacturer DOES show up with a copy of the law under their arm, demonstrates that their device IS in compliance, and that is, as they say, that. It's a simple matter to engineer in additional filtering, but with extra filtering comes extra cost. However with the transmitting unit restricted to the radiation limits of Part 15, it still won't take much in a strong field to overcome even rudimentary filtering. Good luck with the case, though...Do let us know how it goes. 73 Steve, K4YZ |
